The Ritz-Carlton, Tokyo opened its doors to guests for the first time on March 30th, 2007. Since, it has gathered a wealth of awards and developed a loyal following. The hotel has its finger on the pulse of the latest trends in food, fashion and retail - and best of all it gives guests the perfect setting to revel in it all from a room atop one of the most dramatic skyscrapers in Tokyo.

The lobby is high up on the 45th floor and is a peaceful and gracious oasis - smart, modern flower arrangements decorate the area and a pianist plays classical music for guests and visitors. The lobby is a popular meeting spot and has a pleasant atmosphere that encourages guests to stay for afternoon tea, or perhaps to sip something a little stronger in the lobby bar. The modern interior has been designed by Frank Nicholson Inc. The fine woodwork, hand-tufted carpets and drapes, Japanese Chiyo-gami Pattern wall coverings and a collection of contemporary arts all make for a convivial and exciting ambience.

The rooms and suites are very spacious, starting at 52 square metres. All of the rooms in the hotel feature 'standard' marble bathrooms that are comparable to the size of many Tokyo apartments and come equipped with two well appointed vanities, a luxurious bathtub and a television. The bedrooms are comfortable and the controls are easy to master - privacy shades and room darkening curtains ensure that the level of light is just right and can be changed at the touch of a button. There is a small desk, two comfortable sitting chairs and another television. The beds are remarkably comfy and are covered with luxurious Frette linens and pillows that beckon you to a relaxing nights sleep or to take a short power nap.

Dining options are varied with Hinokizaka providing Michelin-starred cuisine and for something different, try dinner at Forty Five, which offers modern French cuisine with the spectacular Tokyo skyline as a backdrop.

This is a hotel that has everything - it is a high-end business hotel and a fantasy weekend holiday destination. They provide excellent business facilities and a full-service spa as well as a dedicated wedding planner, so whatever takes you to Tokyo, your trip is bound to be enhanced by staying at this magnificent hotel.
